Stick to your guns, I think these will be pretty available after the first wave at msrp around the country. Both dealers by me are msrp only and a lot of them out there seem to be as well
6k is about average in my area, there are better rated PPFs out there though. If they're doing a full paint correction with it that's not a horrible price tbh if you're getting top tier work. Again it comes down to how long you'll keep the car and how much imperfection in the paint you're ok...
Honestly, I would opt for the full ppf if you are willing to spend that and keep it for 5-10 yrs, they have PPFs now with a "built in" ceramic layer on top. The security of knowing you can be a touch more aggressive with washes without worrying about swirls on black paint is ideal for me at...
Looks amazing when clean, a nightmare to keep clean. If you aren't OCD it's manageable, also if you consider yourself a detailer it will make things easier but time consuming. Swirls will inevitably happen. Did I mention it looks amazing when clean?
The Type R seats were the best I've ever sat in which is surprising based on the amount of bolstering but I will freely admit that larger folks probably would feel differently about them
I'm a bit disappointed with the msrp. Clearly a cash grab from Acura which, I guess I can't blame them from a business standpoint. The math doesn't quite add up for what they're charging for what's been lost/gained from the type R but some people will for sure pay it and at the end of the day...
The reviews on the seats are what I'm looking forward to. It's a shame they passed on the opportunity to use some of the best seats in the business from the R but maybe they've made the correct decision, we'll see
I don't think that's true actually, where are you getting that information? They look fairly different. They more than likely took the seats from the base integra and added denser support
If you are after a fun engaging 4 door you are going to enjoy the platform very much. Take it from someone who went from a fast audi to a type R, as long as you get the urge for straight line speed out of your system beforehand. That was the toughest part for me was moving on from an ultimate...
@Rdrcr isnt the type S moniker for Acura not equivelant to Honda's type R? Does the NSX type S add luxury and value to the base car or is it a sportier version? The reality is there were less than 4k Acura units produced over 2 decades ago that ever had a type R badge, honda would never let them...
Yeah I recall the sport line coming out in eu, it looked more like a standard hatch right? I think my type R had touring on the title so I'm not sure if they all sold as "touring" models?
They had full leather interior in euro type Rs? How much would that cost? Honestly I'd be fine with the exact seats used in the type R they just aren't necessarily luxurious
Acura as a brand touts being a luxury version of Honda however this car has not been advertised in that way. I'm thinking we may be overlooking the fact that this is an almost identical copy to the type R so that Acura can capitalize on the lack of supply in the type R market. Let's be honest...
In fairness it is much more than just an upgraded engine and if you have not and get the chance to test drive a type R, I'd highly encourage you to do so. It is chassis modification, suspension tuning, braking, aero/cooling, 10k+ worth of additional performance over the 1.5 platforms well spent...
